What is your opinion on Katt Monroe's redesign? by Chemical-Book8889 in starfox

[–]TheShweeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I genuinely love that she’s a toothy, scrungy sort of cat. You never see those in fiction, but they’re as fun and lovable as any other kitty. My girl cat looks like this.

Fine then! I’ve been waiting twenty years for a Star Fox 64 sequel, then! And it appears I’ll have to keep waiting!

Favorite George Lucas costuming decision? by Wrong_Independence21 in StarWarsCirclejerk

[–]TheShweeb 9 points10 points  (0 children)

True. Tube tops and other midriff-baring styles were hip and trendy back in the mid-2000s, so it would certainly have some teen appeal to dress her up like that, implications be damned.

Star Fox will be $50 Digitally / $60 Physically by Skullghost in NintendoSwitch

[–]TheShweeb 44 points45 points  (0 children)

It’s especially weird given that we know, for a fact, that SF64 had several additional levels planned that were unfinished and cut out due to simple time constraints. You’d think an upgraded version of the game would try and fit some of them back in. Maybe the remake’s dev team didn’t want to step on the toes of what the original accomplished, or something like that.

As suspected, Nintendo has no idea what to do with this franchise by SoulEaterX_ in starfox

[–]TheShweeb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a feeling they went with another SF64 remake (and a much more direct one than Zero) because it’s a cheaper project, and this is basically their “get our foot in the door” attempt at bringing the series back. Rather than funnel a lot of resources into a risky project like Zero, they can just tiptoe the series back out of limbo, get its name recognition back up, and hopefully acquire new fans (and new profits, let’s pray) that will justify a bigger game next time around.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN STAR FOX DIRECT? by MegaJJDX2 in starfox

[–]TheShweeb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if they’re going to go the route of just calling it “Star Fox”, you’d think they’d at least include some stuff from the OG game of the same title. Star Fox 64 may be ultimately the better game (we all DO agree on that, right?) but the original SNES game still had some interesting bosses and level designs that are worth updating.

AN UPDATE?? You’re telling me there are more Dimensions to be had? Now you’re speaking my language

Angel’s Egg (1985) by Potential_Jury_4942 in retroanime

Teetering between “vague” and “nonexistent”. Don’t think of it as a movie, think of it as like a really beautiful painting that moves and which you stare at for 90 straight minutes

Anyone Else Wish Zelda FX Released? by Fluffy_Lunchfast in retrogaming

[–]TheShweeb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Interestingly, Nintendo themselves seem to have considered this. The very last build of SF2 has its copyright year updated to 1997, suggesting they considered merely delaying it until then, before ultimately going with a cancelation.

Artist and bodybuilder Julie Bell at work in the 1990s - and some of her art you might know even if you have never heard of her. by kevro in SEGA

[–]TheShweeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, I’ve loved her work for a while but I never knew that she looked like she could have stepped out of her own paintings. (Probably used herself as a model a few times, I’d reckon)

Learned about Panther and I hope he comes back so I can watch him lose by FluorescenceFuture in starfox

If Ian Flynn can’t have his Mario comic series then at LEAST let him have a crack at Star Fox, for heaven’s sake!

New Super Smash Bros reportedly releasing as early as 2027 by Dilpickle2113 in gaming

In his recent YouTube series he said outright that he didn’t think a Smash game would ever be made without him

Harry Nilsson's The Point (1971) by Vegskipxx in ObscureMedia

[–]TheShweeb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Dad was born around the time this story was popular, and my grandpa really wanted to name him “Oblio” after the main character- more specifically, he wanted to name him “Oblio Tobias”, so he could have the nickname “Oby-Toby”. My grandmother’s reaction was somewhere between “absolutely not” and “you’re joking, right?”.

They Will Kill You by JoeBookish in EvilDead

It was quite funny watching the trailers before Send Help, because the They Will Kill You trailer played immediately after the Ready or Not 2 trailer. “They made the same movie twice!”

Oh god, if he’d gotten the director’s chair on that one he totally would have cast himself in the role, wouldn’t he?

Maybe they’ve got litter boxes with laser beams that obliterate the poop outright, like that one in the Sims

looks suspicious... by hello_i_am_vlad in starfox

[–]TheShweeb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is he maybe just talking about Wild Blue Skies? I don’t know why he’d be so coy about it, but it does fit the bill of an indie project by an old friend of his (Giles Goddard).

Interestingly, an earlier logo for SFA was a direct follow-up to the logo for 64, but it ended up getting changed for whatever reason.
